Such An Angry Young Man:Version Two

Didn't have a clue,

Was it really you,

Calling my name?

Or have I gone insane,

Once again?

Would have stopped the knife,

Could have saved your life,

If I had known.

But time has shown,

Once again:

You were an angry young man,

Such and angry young man.

Wish I'd known before,

Should not have closed the door,

And left you alone;

Should have walked you home.

Small, sharp things you hide,

Secrets kept inside,

Hearts turned to stone.

Once more it's shown:

You were an angry young man,

Such an angry young man.

I guess I couldn't see,

It wasn't really me,

That you needed.

What you needed,

Was love.

Songs for those who died,

Tears I neer cried,

The memories we made;

They came today.

Why'd you have to leave?

Why'd you have to be,

An angry young man,

Such an angry young man?

Cradles that we rocked,

Speeches that we talked,

Clocks that we broke,

Running low on hope.

Guess it makes some sense,

This is how it ends.

I should have known!

Everything's shown:

You were an angry young man,

Such an angry young man.

When things don't go your way,

There's things that you should say,

But you kept them hid.

That's what you did,

You angry young man.

You were an angry young man,

Such an angry young man.

Such An Angry Young Man: Version One

REFRAIN:

Didn't have a clue,

Was it really you,

Calling my name?

Or have I gone insane,

Once again?

Would have stopped the knife,

Could have saved your life,

If I had known.

But time has shown,

Once again:

You were an angry young man,

Such an angry young man.

Oh, no, what will I do?

I finally know it's you,

That I need.

How will I sleep,

Tonight?

And I see once again,

You were my angry friend,

And we had a fight.

But I wasn't right...

REFRAIN

I should have told someone,

You were much too young,

To make that choice.

Now I miss your voice,

All I hear is noise,

In the night:

Voices saying you were right.

Wish I had known,

But time has shown,

You were an angry young man,

Such an angry young man.

REFRAIN

Oh, no, what will I do?

I finally se it's you,

That I need.

How will I sleep,

Tonight?

You took your own breath,

Now I've nothing left,

But a hole.

I'll never be whole,

Again.

REFRAIN

Now I've nothing left,

But a hole.

I'll never be whole,

Without my angry young man...

Such and angry young man...

You were an angry young man...

Such an angry young man...

Angry young man...

Angry...

This Ain't A Game

You rolled the dice,

You played your card,

You're looking like some big retard,

Sorry boy, I've got news for you:

You lose, 'cause this ain't a game.

You asked if I would dosey-doe,

I glared at you and then said no.

You asked if I would like a drink,

I told you, "Well, what d'ya' think?"

You just let her sit in the corner.

\You know, I'm not too worried 'bout me,

I'll either find love, or I'' be free,

But gosh, my friends sure are pretty,

And if you can' see that, well that's a pity.

Hey, cowboy, you let me be,

I won't let you gamble for me,

Take your jests back to the city,

You won't find anyone here who has pity,

For a criminals broken heart.

You rolled the dice,

You played your card,

You're looking like some big retard,

Sorry boy, I've got news for you:

You lose, 'cause this ain't a game.

Trust Me

My mama used to give me jobs to do,

Sometimes she'd even ask me little questions about you,

But recently I've noticed she does it less and less,

And finally one day she confessed:

She can't trust me anymore,

She's just like the rest,

If she finds me crying behind doors,

She says, " Well, I guess you did your best,

But I just can't trust you anymore."

Trash Girl

REFRAIN:

I'm a trash girl,

I'm a black sheep,

I'm the bad egg,

Yeah, I ain't no good,

And you know I'll never change.

I know how to dance, but don't want to,

I can't carry a tune, but I try to,

I change the words to your favorite songs,

Just to make sure we don't get along.

REFRAIN

I never asked for a kind word, 'casue I know it ain't true,

I'm the wrong on to ask when there's something to do,

But I don't want a cold shoulder, and I don't want your pity,

I just want one friend who forgives, and a chance to be pretty.

REFRAIN

 

What Forever's Like

They've been together thiry years,

He's never slept on the couch,

She's never told him goodbye,

And if you ask, they'll tell you why:

Thirty years ago she went down the aisle,

She had flowers in her hair,

He had a dimple in his chin,

they had tears in their eyes,

But there were smiles on their hearts.

He took her hand in his,

He put a ring that finger,

The look in his eyes said, I'll keep you warm,

I'll keep you safe and sound,

I'll let you take the blankets,

And kiss your bed head,

And no matter what you do think, or say,

I'll love you forever and a day.

The people sang,

The little babies clapped hteir hands,

He held her tight and the flowers fell on her  dress,

But, ah, who cared on a day like that,

That was made for mistakes?

She took his hand in hers,

She put a ring on that finger,

The look in her eyes said, I'll keep you warm,

I'll keep you safe and sound,

I'll let you watch your football,

And I'll let you play your golf,

And no matter what you think, do, or say,

I'll love you forever and a day.

They've been together for thirty years,

He never slept on the couch,

She's never told him goodbye,

And now you know why; that's how it ought to be.

Different

I know I look different,

'Cause I feel different, too,

I never meant to change,

'Cause I know how it hurts you.

Maybe you've noticed that I'm fading away,

But as far as I care, it's really okay,

So please don't cry when I'm gone.

You weren't always my friend,

But you were as soon as we met,

It won't be your fault when it ends,

We both know you tried your best.

Please don't leave me now that I need you,

You wouldn't be leaving for anything new,

So just hold my hand until it's done.

Free

All I ever wanted was to be,

Free,

From you.

All I needed was for you to leave me,

Be.

But now I'm suddenly watching you walk away,

And I suddenly want you to stay.

So,

It's finally the day,

But I don't want you to go.

Don't ask me to explain,

I know that it's insane,

But I don't know,

Why you should go,

I'd miss you so,

Isn't that strange?

Yeah, 'cause,

All I ever wanted was to be,

Free,

From you.

All I ever needed was for you to leave me,

Be.

Now that you're flying,

I'm the one crying,

As if you we were dying,

I never thought I'd have to pay,

For every stupid thing I'd say,

But I guess I did,

Yeah, I'm suddenly realizing I've got a friend in you.

Melancholia

The world is black,

The sky os dark,

The dogs will howl,

Instead of bark.

There is no light,

There is no love,

We all look down,

And not above.

I'm always cold,

I move so slow,

Nothing to do,

Nowhere to go.

My only joy,

Is in the night,

Soft, slow music,

And tiny light.

No one around,

It's only me,

the only time,

When I feel free.

Forget the day,

When things went wrong,

And fall asleep,

To calming songs.

 

 

Livin' On a Prayer Spoof

You've gotta let go,

Of what you lost,

'Don't make a difference wantin' to change or not.

You've got your mem'ries, and that's alright,

For now,

So don't stop yet!

Whoa,

You've got regrets,

Whoa,

Put them in a song.

Here's the band,

They'll play it,

I swear.

Whoa,

Livin' on a prayer.
